Why the historic 11th Street Bridge remains closed May 15, 2009

KOTV in Tulsa filed a report about why the historic 11th Street Bridge remains closed to vehicles and pedestrians, even though it was originally envisioned as a centerpiece of Tulsa’s Route 66.

The answer has been answered here before — namely, it was found later that rehabbing the bridge would have eaten up nearly all of $15 million Route 66 budget from Vision 2025.

I think once the nearby Route 66 museum is built and opens within a few years, perhaps the idea of rehabbing the 1916 bridge will be revisited.
